As I Was Told:
After her children were grown, Mamie stayed with various relatives while Herb was all over the place working here and there. The church was extremely important to Mamie and a part of her daily life. She was very close to her sisters Ada and Nellie, and they made a point to get together at least once a year. Mamie raised three really nice children who were good to her. She was bedridden in a nursing home the last years of her life. Two years before she passed, her daughter Mildred was on her way to visit when Mildred was killed in a car accident. Mamie sensed something had happened, as she was very agitated that night.

Note from Pat Norkool, granddaughter of Mamie & Herb Rosborough:
My Grandmother Mamie was frugal, my grandfather, Herb, a peripatetic worker. He had jobs in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and California working variously as a sheepherder, a gold miner, a farmer, a logger, a 20 mule team driver, etc. Gram was always packing up the family to move.

She learned to cut corners wherever possible. Mom (Arlene [Rosborough] Norkool) and Aunt Mildred eventually ended up being in the same grades in high school and took a home economics class at the same time. One project was to make an apron, so brought home the pattern and instructions for how much material to buy. Their mother, who sewed all their clothes, told them they needed only half as much. When the girls reported this to the teacher, she was skeptical, so Mamie came to class and showed her how to lay out the pattern on half the material originally requested. When she was done the teacher turned to Mom and Mildred and told them they didn’t need to take her class as their mother already knew more than she ever would. ~Pat Norkool
